lish the letters Which appelir from any of them in explanation or vindication of their proceed ings. Acting upon this principle, we have given in another column a statement which has been put forth by Messrs. RICA Roo, but being ourselve's sick of the subject, and supposing that our Readers may also be heartily tired of it, we shall not trouble 'them with any further observations, leaving them to form their own conclusions if they can wade through the in terminable correspondence which the recent exposures have given rise to. And so " ends this wondrous tale." The observation that " there's one law for the rich, and another for the poor," has been explained with as much simplicity as justice by the countryman, who said " the rich have the law in their own hands, but the poor have no law at all." Now, if any one doubts die truth of this definition, we can only refer him to Mr. BENNETT, ' the worthy Magistrate of Worship-street Police-office, who in a case Of _g‘reat hardship and oppression, told a poor complainant that " if she had been a rich person, lie would have advised her to bring an action against her oppressor for assault and false imprisonment, but he would not give that advice to, a poor person." Excellent Ma gistrate !--and most considerate expounder of the numberless blessings of the English laws, which affect to hold out equal protection to all those Placed within the pale of their happy influence ! I3ut here is an unlucky exception to their being the best bulwark of the liberty of the subject, for the Ma gistrate assures us that money is the only safeguard ; and the greatest misfortune of the poor is to want that blessing. Without money they can get no law, and without law they are denied justice. What can be a keener sarcasm upon the impartiality of our laws than this avowal of a Magistrate appointed to administer them ? A poor woman had been barbarously treated by an inspector of hawkers' licences, who refused a bribe often shillings, but accept4d a sovereign, for let ting her at liberty ; and when the illegality of his con dtlet WaS brouglit before the Magistrate,the only satisfac tion th e complainant could get was, thatif she had been ric h she could buy justice, but as she was poor she must lament her poverty in addition to her wrongs.— Thi. was surely a bitter pill—rendered more bitter by the consciousness of her forlorn condition. But how is it. that Magistrates have the power to visit the public by fine and committal, and are curbed in punishing theii own officers for the most disgraceful neglect alduty, or the most glaring misconduct in outrag ing public liberty by numberless vexatious acts ? It cannot surely be that Magistrates are restrained by ally feelings of delicacy. towards these law-breakers— or that a fellow feeling makes them wondrous kind to these worthies of the same establishment. We know that there is an esprit du corps in every class of society, but nothing of that sort ought to exist among the y a b aininistrators of the laws, whose maxim should . e—iii l p art i a li ty, and their aim—justice. But the fault here applied to the law itself—not to t hose who administer it, and if the law be im perfect, why not improve it ? Every day's experi ence shows the folly of seeking redress against watch constables, or police-officers. If any ene man Plains against another for an assault, the Magis trate gives him satisfaction, by ordering the offender t, filld bail—but if he brings a charge against an ° l e " , he buffetted about from one Magistrate to the ;Yet, for th e y canno t bear complaints against a faith- Public servant—a brother chip of the establishment and the very best among them,--for the good fellow, h " departed wort h, n ever gets his due praise till he a 8 committ e d some gr ievous crime, and then his v; .t tuous breth ren canno t be too eloquent on his virtues, humanity, and exemplary behaviour.

The silk manufacturers at Lyons recently held a meeting, at which it was resolved, that a fund should be formed for lending to the wo r k men money upon Ofects,,without interest, as at the Monte de Piete the interest is at the rate of about 16 per cent. per annum. The postillions of a diligence from Bordeaux to Toulouse have just been fined 3,000 f. and costs, for having run over a man in consequence of driving too fut. Th e proprietors of the diligence are rendered table for the amount. The appointment of a British nobleman as Minister to Mexico seems to gain belief, and the rumours of Yeaterday assigned that post to the Earl. of Orford (lately Secretary of Embassy and Minister Plenipo tialy at the Court of St. Petersburgh), with a salary of 6,0001. per annum. That nobleman is not, It le said, to bear the highest diplomatic rank, which Wo uld entitle him on retiring, to the full salary, but is tent out by the Cabinet (who think the country already enfficiently c h arge d w i t h b ur d ens o f th at nature.).with the rank of Minister Plenipotentiary. This, at least, s the account we have heard in a quarter usually pos l'.B4ing good information. The fall of Mexican stock, which took place as soon as that appointment obtained more general belief, is a proof of the correctness of we remark e d yesterday, that in itself it adds nothing to the value of the bonds.

Consols were quoted at 821, sellers, for account, and opened this morning at the same rate; although few transactions have taken place, they are now at 82/ ; the general impression seems to he, that a further advance may reasonably be expected, from the great plenty of money in the City, and the favourable accounts received of the price of the French Funds.

Great anxiety is felt at Lloyds for the safety of several vessels which are known to have sailed in August, from the West Indies, and are supposed to have encountered the dreadful hurricane ex perienced on the 6th, 25th, and 26th of September last. From 40 to 60 per cent. has been given to insure some of them. The underneath are the names and dates of sailing of several for which, more particularly, serious fears are entertained, viz. : The Trelawney, Captain Crawford, sailed 10th Aug. ; the Phillip, Freeman, sailed the 15th Aug., from Jamaica. The Larkins, Cleghorn, sailed from Havanna 26th Aug. ; the Sir Charles M'Carthy, Marr, sailed from Mevis 4th Sept. ; and the Mary, Finnez, sailed from Saint Domingo 22d Aug. ; all bound to London. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tuts DAY.) MACKERBATT V. TOWELL. His LORDSHIP stated, that the appeal had been brought in this cue principally on the ground that under the circumstances of this case, interest had been ordered to be charged against the estate of a deceased assignee, at the rate of 20 per cent. ; and the question was, whether the appeal which complained of that order was or was not well founded. The case was reported, with the judgment that had been delivered, in the Ist vol. of Buck's publi cations in bankruptcy. The case was to this effect:—Upon the 29d of September, 1799, a commission of bankruptcy issued against two persons who had carried on a trade together. On the 24th they were duly declared bankrupts ; whose estate was then provisionally assigned over to certain persons ; upon the 24th of October following several persons were chosen assignees ; among whom was Richard Baldwyn, whose estate was now charged.— The plaintiffs were the Commissioners, and who bad been repre sented on the record as creditors of Mr. B.'s estate ; the defendants were persons interested in Mr. B.'s estate. The assignment was made by the commissioners to the assignee, who entered into the usual covenant to the commissioners, and upon which it WAS contend ed that the creditors were to be considered as specialty creditors upon the estate of the deceased Mr. 8., quoitti the amount of money stated to have come into his bands, but the decree made this distinction between the principal and the 20 per cent. inte rest, that they were to be considered simple contract creditors in respect of the latter. Several large sums of money came into the hands of the assignees from the bankrupts' estate, sod were paid by them into the Bank of England ; 1,9001. and a fraction remained in the hands of Mr. B. at his death, respecting which the com missioners had made an order directing aliquot parts to be paid to various creditors respectively. The Acts of Par liament contemplated the cases of assignees becoming anti not becoming bankrupts, but they had taken no notice of the cue of a decease. Some of the sections charged an assignee with 20 per cent. upon the money detained by them, due to the creditors after the declaration of a dividend ; but this did not extend to the case, where the CoMinissioners had ordered aliquot parts to be paid to creditors. If such aliquot parts were not paid, the assignee was liable to damages, by a petition to this Court, in the nature of an action for money had and received for those creditors respectively, and could only be charged at the rate of 5 per cent. It would be too hard to hold, after the Commissioners had given this right to creditors, and the creditors chose to let the money remain in the hands of the assignee for years, which they could have instantly called for, that they should be reinvested with their original right of enforcing 20 per cent. Under these circumstances his Lordship reversed the Vice Chancellor's order, directing 20 per cent. to be charged, and ordering that 5 per cent. only should be paid by the deceased assignees' estate. RIOT at HILTOWN, COUNTY DOWN. Extract of a letter from Newry, 7th November, MVO:— " I just seize this opportunity of telling you that a serious affair has taken place at the little village of Ililtown, with in eight miles of this; the entire occasioned by au Orange procession who were marching (decked in the trappings of the confederacy, to celebrate the Anniversary of the Gun powder Plot), past the Catholic Chapel of Ililtown, just as the congregation were coming out after Mass, on last Sunday. Strife arose between the parties, whilst passing each other, close to the Chapel, on the road. The Orangemen being well armed, fired on the crowd.— Three Catholics were killed, and great numbers on both sides dangerously wounded in the desperate en counter that ensued. These are the general facts.— An authentic detail of the more minute parts of this tragedy not being as yet comatable, if I may use the word, but when it is, you shall have it from me. That whole district of country is in a state- of unparalleled excitement and alarm, and I dread that grievous will be the conse quences springing from such a transaction. It is the ge teral opinion here now, that the Orange faction are anxious to produce something in the way of a small rebellion, in order to mar any hopes the Catholics may have for Eman cipation in the , next Session of Parliament. It is believed 'that it is now (having this in view) a primary object of theirs to goad the peasantry into some act of aggression, that they may banquet on the twofold gratification of spill ing their blood, and putting into the hands of their enemies an argument for the continuation of their degraded and op pressed condition.—Dublin Morning Register.

FEMALE SUITOR. A very old lady, apparently reduced in circumstances, took a seat on the Bench, between his Lordship and the bar,.appropriated for solicitors and others having business, at the sitting of the Court, and after several attempts succeeded in getting a petition handed across the table to his Lordship by his attendants ; his Lordship opened it, and told the lady he should take it horns with him and read it at his leisure. The Court proceeded on the Bankrupt List, to-day. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.--(Tans DAY.) DARKER V. DARKER. A motion was made this morning by Mr. Heald, on behalf of certain infants, that a su►n of 421.1. part of the personal estate of a testator, should be paid into this Court. The learned gentle man expressed his anxiety for the immediate decision of the Court as a similar suit had been commenced in the Coma of Exchequer, ut that very moment. A motion to the same effect was being made before the Barons that the sum in question should be paid into that Court. A long and angry discussion ensued between Mr. HEALD and Mr. WILLIS, in support of the application, and Mr. AUAK and Mr. KNIGHT, in opposition to it. Whilst Mr. HEALD was addressing the Court, it was intimated to him, that the application to the Court of Exchequer bad just been granted, the Learned Gentleman having remarked, with con siderable warmth, on the proceedings before the Barons, which he described as a mere trick. His Hoxoua observed, that as the suit had been brought re gularly into this Court, and as due notice of the present motion had been given to the parties, he would entertain it without re ference to any proceedings elsewhere. His Honour granted the motion, with costs. THE CORONATION DECORATIONS. FELLOWS V. LORD GWYDIK AND ANOTHER. TMs case, which was yesterday in part beard, arose out of the following circumstances:— _ _ _ Shortly after the coronation of his present :Majesty, Lord Gwyder sold to the plaintiff, Mr. Fellows, forlooo/., all the lead, iron, and fittings up, used at Westminster Hall during that ceremony, to all which his Lordship, as Deputy Lord High Chamberlain, was entitled. The plaintiff resold this property to a Mr. Page for the stun of fifteen hundred gui neas, and it was arranged that Mr. Page should hand over the .1,000/. to Lord Gwyder for the plaintiff, and then give to the plaintiff a bill for 675/. which was the profit to be realized by the sale. Page took possession of all the articles, and subsequently removed them, 'but imagining that all the decorations used at the Coronation bad not been delivered up to him, refused to perform his part of the contract, on the ground that he had been imposed on and defrauded by the plaintiff; under these circumstances the plaintiff filed a bill against the defendants, pray ing that they Might be compelled to fulfil the contract. It ap peared that Page had himself sold to several persons the decora tions iu question, and since lodged the proceeds in Court to await its judgment. Mr. Maass appeared in support of the bill, and stated that the agreement between the plaintiff and Page was worded so as to guard against the possibility of a doubt as to the articles sold, for it expressly set forth that the articles then standing in West minster Hall were alone the object of the sale, and these, accor ding to the evidence, were delivered up to Page. The Learned Counsel further contended, that as Page, by the removal of all the fittings up, rendered it impossible for the plaintiff to submit the question to a jury, he was especially entitled to the interfe rence of this Court. The arguments had not concluded when we went to press. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. BROUGHAM moved fora writ of mandamus to compel a person named Trayman, who had filled the office of Mayor in the Borough of Tregony, last year, to deliver up to the newly elected Mayor the insignia of that office, with other property belonging to the Corporation, which he had refused to give up though regularly required so to do. Mr. Justice BAILIY—You may take a rule to 'hew cause. 1./ACHY V. WJNC. • This was an action of trespass, tried at the last Assizes for Suffolk. The plaintiff was the servant of Henry Ilunbury, and attended on his behalf, to collect a share of the Tythe of corn, at a farm where the defendant had also attended to receive a share. The division was made by sheaf's ; both par ties happened to fancy a particular sheaf, and endeavoured to lay hold of it simultaneously; but. the, aintiff laid his band on it first, and the defendant succeeded in wresting it from him, in consequence of which the plaintiff brought his action, and was nonsuited, on the ground that he had not such a possession as would entitle him to bring an action. Mr. F.auLa moved this day for a rule to show cause why the nonsuit should not be set aside, on the ground that it ought to be left to the Jury whether or not be had actual possession at the time. _ _ The Con 11T were unanimously of opinion, that this being a question of possession merely, and not of right, the plai n tiff had not such possession u wou ld entitle him to an action ; lie was only endeavouring to get possession, and the d e f en d ant prevente d him by taking possession himself.--Rule refused. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—(Tms DAY.) (Before Lord Chief Justice EStiT.) COLLINS V. NOLDINC. Mr. Joshua EVANS opened the pleadings. price possessof aulpaestefnutrnfoisrbe:ricbeyr Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated the ca se . T h i s was an act i on si ef tc' endant's ord er , f or a coach t h en certain for the recover y of 291. being the s p i la ie in eies tiff o , f w e h oa o ch ri: a u xie w s, ol o l n k t n h o e w d making for him. Taylor proved that the 'plaiutiff's clerk, who witness believed was now dead, was in the habit'of entering orders in a Look ; wit ness was then requested to read the order, to w hi c h Mr. Sergeant WILDS objected, on the ground that it could nut be received. Mr. Evart contended, that as the clerk who wrote it was dead it ought to b e received, an d referred to similar cases where such evidence was admitted. Mr. Sergeant Witnt said he would perhaps put an end to this discussion, by ascertaining the fact as to the clerk's death. Taylor cross-examined by Mr. WlLD=—Heard from some of Tell's relations that he was dead, but did not know it himself. The CHM' . 1 1/STICY then said,, that the death must be Vita' Welled before the entry could be received. Richard Tyrel, wachmAktri secured inders frijil the defendant to maim a coach for him, and agreed for Q4O/. as the price; there was nothing said about axles by the defendant ; some time after Mr. Collins's clerk called upon witness and said, that his master had received orders from the defendant to send to wit 7 nese patent axles for his, defendant's, coach ; witness accordingly received them and put them on the coach ; when the defendant took delivery of it he paid the 2401. Cross-examined by Mr. WiLne—The 2401. would cover the whole, including a common axle ; did not tell the defendant when he received the money, that he would be called upon for payment of the axles besides ; did not order the axles from the plaintiff; had frequently ordered axles of the kind from him, but not in this instance. Wines* saw defendant several times afterwards, but never had any conversation with him about them. By the Cow:LT—When he furnished a coach with patent axle trees, the axletrees should be paid for extra. . Mr. WILDE then addressed the Jury for the defendant, and stated, that this was a gross attempt, on the part of the plaintiff, to impose upon his client, who was a most respectable gentleman. The latter ordered a coach from the plaintiff, which was accord ingly furnished and paid for. He expected he would get it com plete at the contract price, and never dreamt of being called upon for an extra sum for the patent axles, which are now quite common. As well might a person, who ordered any articles from au uphol sterer, be called upon by the draper, and all the other tradesmen whose goods might be employed in the workmanship of any article. The learned sergeant was sure that it would appear so absurd to the Jury, that they would find no difficulty in finding for his client. _ _ Tyrel was re-examined by the COURT.—Was quite po sitive that he did not order the patent axles, and never heard a word about them, till' the plaintiff's clerk called ; the price of a common axle is 4/. 10s. and the additional trou ble in fixing a patent axle, to fixing a common one, would cost within Ss. of the difference between their price. The CH M JUSTICE then briefly summed up, and the Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff of 29!. ARCHES' COURT—(Tins DAY.) (Before Sir JOHN NWHOLL.) GRAHAM V. GRAHAM. Dr. Lusuzwuvow stated that this was a suit promoted by a Mr. Barron Graham against his wife for a divorce, by reason of adul tery by her committed. As the case had already been fully be. fore the Court, he should simply call attention to the leading facts. It appeared that Mr. Graham was horn in Scotland, and that his profession was that of a portrait painter. In 1816, he married Caroline Despeigh, then a widow, with whom he continued to reside until 1817, when becoming straightened in circumstances, he went to Bombay, were he remained until 1820: He then returned to England, but from, that period quitted the society of his wife, in consequence of some information which he received to the effect that his wife during his absence in the East Indies, had been unfaithful to his bed. Though separated from Mrs. Graham, however, he allowed her a liberal mainte nance, when his confined circumstances were considered. He allowed her lbs. a week, at a time when it appeared his own earnings did not exceed 80s. With this allowance Mrs. Graham appeared perfectly satisfied, and Mr. Graham, after the separation, retired to Scotland. In the meanwhile his wife went to reside at Somerset- lace, Albany-road, Walworth, and it was charged that in fie years 1823 and 1824, while residing there, she carried on an adulterous intercourse wttli a Mr. Rigley. The facts were clearly proved by three witnesses named Leger, Saunders, and Leynes. Leger's testimony put the fact of the adultery beyond all question, for he proved, that Mrs. Graham lived with Mr. Rigley as if he was her husband, and that he had heard her and Mr. Rigley conversing together in their bed room after midnight. Mr. Graham had brought an action against Rigley in the Court of King's Bench, and, as might be supposed, in consequence of the adultery being committed after a separation had taken place, he only recovered one shilling damages. Indeed it was only lately that any damages were recovered in the Court of King's Bench, when it was proved that the parties were sepa. rated when the adultery was committed. The late Lord Kenyon held that a husband was not entitled to any damages for adultery when he voluntarily separated himself from his wife. On the part of Mrs. Graham two witnesses were examined, but their evidence went to strengthen the allegations proving the act of adultery, for one of the witnesses stated, that Mrs. Graham told her she had taken the house at Wahworth to accommodate Mr. Rigley, and the other witness proved that Mrs. Graham went by the name of Rigley. Under all these circumstances, he had only to submit that the Court ought to pronounce for the divorce. • Dr. JENNIR said he appeared for Mrs. Graham. He did not mean to contend that the evidence produced discredited the sup position that Mrs. Graham lived upon terms of the closest inti macy with Mr. Rigley, but he thought that the witnesses-in sup port of the libel were mistaken in several most important facts. Mrs. Graham might have taken the name of Rigley to protect herself from insult, hut it was not at all clear that she lived with Mr. Higley upon the terms of husband and wife. The Court were so fully in possession of all the circumstances that he would not trespass upon its attention longer, and should bow respectfully to any decision which should be pronounced. Sir JOHN itemor.r. said, he had carefully examined all the documents and exhibits, and had no doubt that the libel was fully proved, and that Mr. Graham was entitled to the reparation for which he prayed. The Court therefore pronounced for the divorce.—The Court then adjourned. INSOLVENTDEBTORS' . COURT-(Tif IS DA Y. ) A great number of unopposed eases were gone through, end the following petitioners were declared by the Court entitled to the benefit of the Act, and ordered to be discharged forthwith : Jonas Edwards, Thomas Bennet, James Smart, Thomas Chap man, John Lamperi Lewis, Henry Thomas Cole, Bernard Chairs Wilson, James Bale, Windover Fry, Samuel Webb, Elizabeth Arson, David Jones, and William Harrison (from yesterday). The following were adjourned:--Samuel Smith, James Pedley Itarvey, Jelin Mitchell (by his own request), James Penderton Campbell, alias Count Figg, a well-known character. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HATTON-GARDEN—(TtiIs DAY.) Yesterday an urchin, named Charles Kniyht, one of the juve nile gang who infest Clerkenwell, was charged with the following robbery :—A poor woman, named Gilles, who keeps a chandler's shop in Hooper's-street, stated, that yesterday .afternoon, while sitting in a room beyond the shop, she heard a noise, but could not tell from whence it proceeded. She looked round the shop, but could see no one ; in a few minutes, however, she went behind the counter, and found the prisoner snugly concealed underneath it.— Ile said he was hiding himself from a boy who had run after him ; and from his ingenuous Countenance, she was induced to believe him, and let him go.
